Former crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli was due to immediately start serving his five-year jail term after being sentenced by the high court in Johannesburg on Tuesday. File photo.Former crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli would have spent his first night in jail on Tuesday, more than two decades after kidnapping and assaulting a man whose only sin was to marry the former high-flying policeman’s wife.
Mokgoatlheng sentenced the two men to three years each for two counts of kidnapping, another one-year jail term each for assault and two years for two counts of assault with intent to commit grievous bodily harm. Some of the sentences will run concurrently. Before Mdluli left the court to start serving his sentence, he indicated he would petition the Supreme Court of Appeal .
She said Mdluli nearly got away with his criminal abuse of power, and it was satisfying to see justice finally being done. “This is not a courtesy he extended to his victims, and it is time for him to get his just deserts,” Breytenbach said.She said the successful prosecution demonstrated the important role civil society could play in demanding accountability.
